The objective of this contribution is to present a unifying review on strain-driven
computational homogenization at finite strains, thereby elaborating on computational …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

The main purpose of this chapter is to give a derivation, which is mathematically precise,
physically natural, and conceptually simple, of the quasilinear system of partial differential …

This paper describes the so called interfacial transition zone—ITZ—in concrete. This is the
region of the cement paste around the aggregate particles, which is perturbed by the …

Scientific design of the composition of UHPC is important in achieving desired elastic
modulus and prediction. In this paper, an analytical model based on composition through …

In this work, we conducted an experimental and micromechanical investigation on the
mechanical and chloride diffusion properties of recycled aggregates concrete (RAC). Due to …

Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag (EAFS) is a by-product of the steelmaking industry,
generated after the melting and the preliminary acid refining of liquid steel. It is a stony …

This study aims to develop models for the elastic modulus (E c) and splitting tensile strength
(f tsp) of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) incorporating coarse recycled aggregate (CRA) …

There is an ongoing debate, in Concrete Science and Engineering, whether cementitious
materials can be viewed as poromechanics materials in the sense of the porous media …

Water to cement (W/C) ratio has been deemed as one of the most important factors affecting
the properties of concrete. However, at constant W/C ratio, cement or cementitious paste …
